The Mystery Spot
Disneyland, Six Flags, San Francisco Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Las Vegas…. Some of the tourist destinations in the United States. But on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles, there is one place where I had an experience like no other.

It is the Mystery Spot. There is a specific location in the middle of the forest in Santa Cruz, CA where you cannot stand up straight, as if someone is pulling you to fall down. You are taller than your friend but when you get in the spot, you become shorter than him. There is a small wooden house in the spot where the guide showed us that it is straight flat (using a ruler with water inside- forgot what it is called) but somehow, gravity is weird there… you cannot stand up straight, a billiard ball rolls all over the place, and you keep on falling down. You can even act as if you are spiderman!

It was a different experience, not like the usual tourist place where you just walk and somebody describes it to you. Here, you really experience what the guides talk about.
